:00:46. > :00:53.Hello and welcome back to Melbourne for the grand final of Nitro
:00:54. > :00:58.Athletics, which could bring a whole new audience to the sport. Usain
:00:59. > :01:03.Bolt's All-Stars have taken on five national teams, and so far, there's
:01:04. > :01:13.been some great competition. COMMENTATOR: The best start possible
:01:14. > :01:22.for the Nitro series. What a team. Does it brilliantly. England have
:01:23. > :01:26.come from nowhere. They have got to get Boscombe of the track here,
:01:27. > :01:38.because it will be chaos if they don't. Look at the excitement from
:01:39. > :01:44.the big boys. It's in! It's in! We are winners. I keep telling you,
:01:45. > :01:49.John. It is what we do. With the first two rounds completed, we have
:01:50. > :01:54.now reached the sell-out grand final, where points per team are
:01:55. > :01:59.more important than ever. Six teams of 12 female and 12 male athletes go
:02:00. > :02:02.head-to-head over three evenings of competition. Traditional disciplines
:02:03. > :02:09.sit alongside more innovative events. I think China might be
:02:10. > :02:15.going. Points are awarded according to position, with the emphasis on
:02:16. > :02:19.team performances. Bonus points are available in some field events, and
:02:20. > :02:22.each team can use power play to double their points in a nominated
:02:23. > :02:27.event. The team with the most points at the end of the evening will win
:02:28. > :02:33.the Nitro Athletics World Cup. Let us know what you thought of it so
:02:34. > :02:36.far via Twitter. Let's get over to your Australian commentators now to
:02:37. > :02:48.describe the action, and Rob Clancy to talk you through the events.
:02:49. > :02:50.Here's how the teams are placed after the first two nights of
:02:51. > :02:52.competition, with the Usain Bolt All-Stars leading the points tally
:02:53. > :02:54.ahead of Australia and China, thanks largely to the world's greatest
:02:55. > :03:33.sprinter, their captain, Usain Bolt. Kicking things off tonight Nitro is
:03:34. > :03:39.the medley relay. It is an event that sums up the essence of Nitro
:03:40. > :03:45.Athletics. Men and women combine in a test of teamwork, technique, power
:03:46. > :03:51.and endurance. It kicks off with a 200-metre sprint. The baton is then
:03:52. > :04:01.passed to the 400-metre runners. Next, things take a twist with a
:04:02. > :04:04.tricky 600 metres. And it is all brought home with an 800-metre shoot
:04:05. > :04:11.out. For athletes, five laps of the track, and 100 points for the
:04:12. > :04:14.winner. The start list for the medley relay, and the bolt All-Stars
:04:15. > :04:31.go. Suzuka goes from the inside lane for
:04:32. > :04:37.Japan. Mitchell for Australia. Hannah Williams for England. The
:04:38. > :04:43.first event on Nitro final, and this is crucial to both the leading
:04:44. > :04:56.teams. The bolt All-Stars and Australia.
:04:57. > :05:03.So the Nitro finals away, and Mitchell got a good start. Hannah
:05:04. > :05:14.Williams out wide. Olivia Eaton and Mitchell running well. Tam eyewear
:05:15. > :05:19.is not far away. Good run by Hannah Williams for England. The first
:05:20. > :05:25.change coming up. Theo Campbell taking over for England. Luke
:05:26. > :05:35.Stevens for Australia, and the Olympic champion in the 400 hurdles,
:05:36. > :05:39.Clement. Morgan ran well in the first leg. She was strong, but there
:05:40. > :05:49.was a collision in the change, nearly. There is Clement, just
:05:50. > :05:55.stalking them. So the big three for this event, England two were so good
:05:56. > :06:01.in the 4x400 the other night. The 600-metre about to come out. This is
:06:02. > :06:08.the crucial one, with Christine Day as a surprise selection, in a. Away
:06:09. > :06:13.goes Alex Bell for England. Rubie in second place, and then Christine
:06:14. > :06:21.Day, and then to New with Katherine Camp. Anneliese has looked good. She
:06:22. > :06:30.is coming past me right now. Looks good. Are you happy so far? She can
:06:31. > :06:38.sit on this spot, and when it comes down to it, get a nice kick and get
:06:39. > :06:46.us a start up front. Getting to the halfway point of this 600-metre leg.
:06:47. > :06:51.Alex Bell has run well for 500, so she is strong. Christine Day has
:06:52. > :06:56.lost a bit of ground. The English team is a lot better for having been
:06:57. > :07:01.here a week. Alex Bell is running a much better rates than the other
:07:02. > :07:08.day. Alex looks very strong, and Christine Day is now passing
:07:09. > :07:15.Katherine Camp from New Zealand, so she isn't dying as much as I thought
:07:16. > :07:22.she would. The 800 about to start. Every metre she can get away is
:07:23. > :07:28.really important. This has been a terrific run. Christine Day had real
:07:29. > :07:31.trouble getting past Katherine Camp, the New Zealander. Rubie getting
:07:32. > :07:42.further and further away. The pattern goes to Luke Mathews. Then a
:07:43. > :07:53.long gap to Musson. Australia in a brilliant position. They are.
:07:54. > :07:59.1.45.01.43. If it is going to be tight, it will be a good finish.
:08:00. > :08:04.They just have to say relaxed. Pretty hard to stay relaxed. And
:08:05. > :08:10.Michael Rimmer, he knows how to raise these 800s. It is a bit of a
:08:11. > :08:20.worry. He will try to close that gap and then sit on him. A gap to third
:08:21. > :08:28.with Ben Musson. One lap to go. Mathews, three or four metres in
:08:29. > :08:32.front of Rimmer. I feel like Williams has made up a bit of the
:08:33. > :08:42.gap. He has taken New Zealand. But he has Michael Rimmer's back in his
:08:43. > :08:54.site. Mathews in the back straight. Three or four metres in front of
:08:55. > :08:59.Rimmer. He is tired, Luke! Come on! Mathews, every point fight for
:09:00. > :09:06.Australia tonight. It will make a huge difference if they can get it.
:09:07. > :09:13.Rimmer is a danger. Mathews is two metres in front. Australia and
:09:14. > :09:23.England. Australia is away. It is the perfect start. The medley team
:09:24. > :09:27.have done it again. Yes, it's Australia home from England. The
:09:28. > :09:36.Bolt All-Stars, New Zealand, China and Japan. What a great team effort.
:09:37. > :09:40.Everyone of them ran so well. The first win of the night to
:09:41. > :09:45.Australia, beating home England and the Bolt All-Stars. That gives
:09:46. > :09:49.Australian 100 points, 20 points ahead of the English team, who came
:09:50. > :09:54.into night in sixth place overall and looking to improve. Next, this
:09:55. > :10:02.60-metre sprints. Don't blink or you will them!
:10:03. > :10:25.Powell got a good start, so did us Eto'o. Doing the work all right. A
:10:26. > :10:31.bit quicker than the other night. Powell gets the hundred points that
:10:32. > :10:43.he was after. Establishes his polity about halfway. Oseto Gao trying to
:10:44. > :10:52.run him down. He is so powerful. Look how strong he is out of the
:10:53. > :10:58.blocks. He saw Gao and Millar coming back at him, but he is in sparkling
:10:59. > :11:07.form. He got the 100 points he was after. You promised 100 points, and
:11:08. > :11:14.you delivered. Definitely. We have to win, ask All-Stars. On Thursday,
:11:15. > :11:22.Michael freighter didn't quite take of business. Did you say, hand it
:11:23. > :11:28.back to me? We can't wait to see you in the relay. Well done. Both of
:11:29. > :11:40.these races combined to get a final point. Riley Day, 16 years of age.
:11:41. > :11:45.Kelsey Berryman won the 60 on the opening night. She has been such a
:11:46. > :11:52.factor in New Zealand's efforts here. The battle behind Prandini,
:11:53. > :12:08.who I think is the overall favourite.
:12:09. > :12:17.Prandini came through very hard. Berryman second, and Riley Day
:12:18. > :12:23.third. The Bolt All-Stars get the job done. Powell and Prandini in the
:12:24. > :12:29.two 60s. A perfect result for the Bolt
:12:30. > :12:33.All-Stars in the 60-metre sprints, with Powell and Prandini going
:12:34. > :12:41.through this series undefeated. Coming up, the next pole-vault. The
:12:42. > :12:48.women's pole-vault. This is the final round. Abigail Roberts of
:12:49. > :12:57.England. She goes through at 4.05. Her personal best is 4.08, so it is
:12:58. > :13:02.a fantastic effort from Roberts. She has had a great competition here.
:13:03. > :13:07.That jumps into lead. This great clearance here, where she just
:13:08. > :13:12.scrapes over 4.05 puts her into the lead, and the other girls under
:13:13. > :13:16.pressure. The men and the women going together, so we are now back
:13:17. > :13:25.across to the men. Here he goes, Adam Hague.
:13:26. > :13:33.Pretty sure that the idea is to go over it, not kick it off. He has got
:13:34. > :13:37.so wound up with the crowd behind him that he has just annihilated
:13:38. > :13:43.that poll. He found himself underneath the bar when it recoils.
:13:44. > :13:46.As he goes upside down, you want to be generally 30 centimetres in front
:13:47. > :13:52.of it, but he was directly underneath it. In terms of the men's
:13:53. > :14:00.competition, who are the most important jumps?
:14:01. > :14:18.Here is Xue,. Up he goes, and he is over! A super impressive jump there.
:14:19. > :14:31.It was 5.50. That is the best jump we have seen so far. From China to
:14:32. > :14:42.China. A lifetime best of 4.20. This is four point ten. It had a tickle,
:14:43. > :14:46.but stayed on. China just jumped from 60 points to 100 points. That
:14:47. > :14:55.is how quickly you can turn around in this format. Now Kennedy,
:14:56. > :15:03.competing for the NME, from an Australian perspective, with the
:15:04. > :15:08.Bolt All-Stars. That would give her the lead by five centimetres,
:15:09. > :15:15.choosing that height. A clever move, being last in the order. The format
:15:16. > :15:22.Acrobat went and missed. It looked like she had the height. She did so
:15:23. > :15:28.well on Thursday night. She cleared 4.10 so easily. So China take the
:15:29. > :15:43.maximum points in the pole-vault, with victories to Xue in the men.
:15:44. > :15:50.Coming up next: At the three-minute distance challenge, race with no
:15:51. > :15:55.finish line. With the clock ticking, which team can run the furthest? A
:15:56. > :16:00.male and a female athlete from each team combined. It is a traditional
:16:01. > :16:07.race start with the first athletes running as far as they can for three
:16:08. > :16:12.minutes. Wherever they finish, that is where the second team member must
:16:13. > :16:17.start. They then have 180 seconds to chase down the leader or protect the
:16:18. > :16:23.lead. The duo who power through the most metres get to take home 100
:16:24. > :16:31.points for their team. The start list for the three-minute distance
:16:32. > :16:36.challenge: We have got a power-play here. They absolutely need full
:16:37. > :16:43.points, Australia. The 26-year-old has run close to two minutes for the
:16:44. > :16:51.800 and this is an extra minute basically. Spoken like someone who
:16:52. > :16:54.has never run 800 metres, Bruce! Away in the three-minute distance
:16:55. > :16:58.challenge. The women first and then the men. How far can you go? It is
:16:59. > :17:07.so hard not knowing where you are going to finish. Camille Buscomb is
:17:08. > :17:15.doing exactly the right thing for the Bolt All-Stars, a little gap.
:17:16. > :17:23.Australia, China in fourth, Yuki Hirota of Japan in fifth, and Laura
:17:24. > :17:30.Nagel, the 25-year-old, her birthday today, moving up a place. What are
:17:31. > :17:34.the tactics here for Heidi? I am watching now and I know Camille
:17:35. > :17:38.Buscomb here well and I am worried for her because she has gone out too
:17:39. > :17:43.hard. I am going to tell Heidi to relax and sit in. You are fine! Do
:17:44. > :17:55.not get caught up in that! You will eat her up at the end! Camille
:17:56. > :18:00.Buscomb knows that she has got Leonard with a great pace. I
:18:01. > :18:06.actually think Camille Buscomb is running a smart rates. To be honest,
:18:07. > :18:12.Leonard has been clever. They know what she is doing and they are
:18:13. > :18:16.sitting back off that pace. You can see the leaderboard. New Zealand is
:18:17. > :18:20.not that far away, with England. It has been a fabulous night so far.
:18:21. > :18:30.Camille Buscomb, Alison Leonard, you can see the gap to Laura Nagel.
:18:31. > :18:34.Leonard has gone out so hard. We know that Heidi is very powerful on
:18:35. > :18:39.the back end. They have almost got one minute to go. Can you see the
:18:40. > :18:43.scoreboard and do you know how far you have got to go in terms of time?
:18:44. > :18:47.You can really tell on the home straight how far you have got to go
:18:48. > :18:51.with the clock. But poor Camille Buscomb is struggling. All right,
:18:52. > :18:57.Heidi! One minute now. You have timed it perfectly. Let's go! Should
:18:58. > :19:02.she go? Not yet. One minute is a long way when you are moving at this
:19:03. > :19:06.pace. Camille Buscomb has done a brave thing, but setting it up so
:19:07. > :19:11.perfectly, Heidi has just got to wait for the next straight and get
:19:12. > :19:18.the gear is going. Can she hold of Leonard? I believe she can because
:19:19. > :19:25.it is a fitness test. This is scary, way too close, but Heidi is
:19:26. > :19:29.stronger. Heidi See... Leonard responds. Camille Buscomb, what they
:19:30. > :19:34.run by her. She has shown so much character. The men to follow and
:19:35. > :19:37.every minute is vital. Can Heidi shake them off? Camille Buscomb will
:19:38. > :19:44.not go away. This has been outstanding. Come on, Heidi! Has she
:19:45. > :19:50.got one last kick, Heidi See? Leonard gets up to her. Just one
:19:51. > :19:56.last kick! Camille Buscomb will not go away. Look at Camille Buscomb and
:19:57. > :19:59.they finish at the same line. How good was that? The three of them ran
:20:00. > :20:04.their hearts out and the men will basically go off from the same
:20:05. > :20:10.market. That was fantastic to watch. I take you my hat off to Camille
:20:11. > :20:14.Buscomb. That was so brave. Usain Bolt should be so proud of you. It
:20:15. > :20:18.looked like you were in agony with a whole lap to go and you kept on
:20:19. > :20:25.fighting. Alison Leonard, that was great as well. Heidi See, second
:20:26. > :20:29.race back, you are back. And here we go, the England 32-year-old who won
:20:30. > :20:35.the 5000 metres championship, so he is strong. And we have the
:20:36. > :20:38.three-time Olympian Jeff Riseley for Australia. And Kerron Clement. They
:20:39. > :20:55.are the big three. Cornish, and then the torture
:20:56. > :21:00.continues. Jeff Riseley has that beautiful 1500 metres base. He is
:21:01. > :21:04.probably just as good at 800 and 1500. This is what is tough for him.
:21:05. > :21:14.He is so good at both that it is hard to choose which one to do. They
:21:15. > :21:22.will have to take it out quite fast. Jeff Riseley has a beautiful long
:21:23. > :21:27.stride. He is a great runner. The last one was his first race back for
:21:28. > :21:31.a while. He will be better after that run. Do you think Jeff Riseley
:21:32. > :21:35.has freshened up for tonight? Absolutely. We have picked that
:21:36. > :21:40.smartly. This is Jeff Riseley's race and he can show off here. The way
:21:41. > :21:48.Camille Buscomb ran the way she did, it was very impressive. It certainly
:21:49. > :21:52.was. Just a reminder, bonus points for Australia. We get double points
:21:53. > :21:56.wherever we finish here. For Australia to win Nitro, I think we
:21:57. > :22:02.have got to win this event. If we don't, we will be climbing a big
:22:03. > :22:05.deal. We are just leading. Jeff Riseley is well placed, then
:22:06. > :22:18.Kipchirchir Kiptoo. Cornish on his own. We are getting to that very
:22:19. > :22:24.interesting stage. You can sense that Jeff is just happy with his
:22:25. > :22:27.nice place. They are going to come quite late. Jeff has such great 800
:22:28. > :22:31.speed that I think he will back that to go as late as possible. One
:22:32. > :22:36.minute to go and he is about to pass you. I agree. He is looking so
:22:37. > :22:40.comfortable. A beautiful start and he had just got to hold off and go
:22:41. > :22:47.when it matters. You are fantastic, Jeff! Get ready now! He just moves
:22:48. > :22:53.out on the shoulder of Kipchirchir Kiptoo, who is sitting on him.
:22:54. > :22:57.England, Australia, Bolt All-Stars. Power Play for the Aussies. Can they
:22:58. > :23:07.get the 200 points that they really need? Nitro final here. The 5000
:23:08. > :23:11.metre man, Jeff Riseley sitting, Kipchirchir Kiptoo comes off his
:23:12. > :23:20.back. The big long sprint for home. Jeff Riseley smooth. Holding form.
:23:21. > :23:26.Kipchirchir Kiptoo at his shoulder, looking ungainly. Jeff Riseley
:23:27. > :23:32.kicks. Looking good. Fantastic. I reckon he has got it! He is going to
:23:33. > :23:42.go again! He has got another gear! Jeff! Jeff Riseley, and why not? He
:23:43. > :23:50.hammers them home and Australia get the Power Play. Full points. Then
:23:51. > :23:54.Kipchirchir Kiptoo and Richard Weir. So Australia increases its lead
:23:55. > :23:58.overall but with no Power Play to come, will it be enough? The Bolt
:23:59. > :24:02.All-Stars in second with China clinging narrowly to third position.
:24:03. > :24:09.We will stay on the track for our next event, the 2x300m relay. Usain
:24:10. > :24:14.Bolt has stacked his team here with Kerron Clement. Christine Ohuruogu
:24:15. > :24:33.going for Power Play along with Williams. Two teenagers from Asia in
:24:34. > :24:38.the final, Fu of China and Takuya Nagata of Japan. They are about to
:24:39. > :24:43.go. Christine Ohuruogu is very unsteady. This is a woman who has
:24:44. > :24:49.won Olympic gold and two World Championship gold and silver, bronze
:24:50. > :25:00.medal in Rio. Here we go. Brent Dini's pace. Can Mitchell keep with
:25:01. > :25:05.her all the way? Brent Dini is away -- Prandini. Can Mitchell run down
:25:06. > :25:10.Prandini? Prandini and Morgan Mitchell, two of the big stars of
:25:11. > :25:14.Nitro. Look at this! Mitchell goes up at Prandini takes. Half a stride
:25:15. > :25:21.in front. The baton change about to come up. Prandini kicks up. What a
:25:22. > :25:26.war going on. Mitchell half a metre in front. Prandini starting to tire
:25:27. > :25:32.out. Job done. Morgan Mitchell gives Stevens the lead. That was a great
:25:33. > :25:39.change. They took metres off the Bolt All-Stars in that change
:25:40. > :25:43.because they were messy. Stevens about two metres in front of Kerron
:25:44. > :25:52.Clement. Then a gap to Williams. Luke holding it for the moment. The
:25:53. > :26:00.big run down the back stretch. Clement, the two gold-medallist. It
:26:01. > :26:03.will be close. The Bolt All-Stars... Stevens have won! Australia got
:26:04. > :26:11.there. It is tight but I reckon we have won. Clement threw everything
:26:12. > :26:15.at him. What they run from Clement. He was down by a few metres when he
:26:16. > :26:23.got the baton, but Morgan and Mitchell, a fantastic rate. --
:26:24. > :26:28.fantastic race. What a war. Both 300-metre legs were marvellous. Luke
:26:29. > :26:34.Stevens running scared against a man who has done it all. And Olympic
:26:35. > :26:37.medallist, gold-medallist, in the 4x100 on the flat. And Luke has
:26:38. > :26:42.already run tonight, so his legs will be tired. He has run a lot. To
:26:43. > :26:47.hold your cool when you can feel Clement breathing down on you,
:26:48. > :26:52.fantastic. That is what Nitro is all about. A spectacular win for the
:26:53. > :26:56.Australian team, edging out the Bolt All-Stars. That puts the home team
:26:57. > :27:02.further ahead with England moving up to third place after a consistent
:27:03. > :27:05.night so far. In the shadows of the stands, the star of the show is
:27:06. > :27:11.preparing for the first of his two races tonight.
:27:12. > :27:17.This is appropriate, the referee just explaining everything to the
:27:18. > :27:21.women because we had the catastrophe the other night, where Camille
:27:22. > :27:25.Buscomb was stopped and he could have stopped running after the first
:27:26. > :27:26.lap. She thought she was eliminated and she wasn't. She took off at the
:27:27. > :27:44.wrong time. You know how it works now. After the
:27:45. > :27:48.first lap, the woman in the last position drops out, the next lap the
:27:49. > :27:56.same, and then the final lap. So we get down to three. Genevieve LaCaze,
:27:57. > :28:02.we will rely on her strength. She was a steeplechase runner, who
:28:03. > :28:08.dropped down. Her 1500 metre and mile times are coming down. Ryan
:28:09. > :28:18.Gregson, the co-captain, can you hear me? What about Genevieve going
:28:19. > :28:22.in? Will she use her strength? She is the fittest girl in the race. The
:28:23. > :28:25.first lap will be the most important. She wanted to go in front
:28:26. > :28:29.and hold them all out and it looks like she will. She wanted to keep
:28:30. > :28:38.the pace after that. Genevieve LeCarre is, Busienei, and so who
:28:39. > :28:51.will be the last woman? Genevieve LaCaze has got to be very careful!
:28:52. > :28:55.She has just made it. Okita has gone out. Half a metre between first and
:28:56. > :29:00.sixth, and although Okita doesn't know it yet, she will be eliminated
:29:01. > :29:04.for Japan. Genevieve used a lot of energy to hold on. This event is
:29:05. > :29:09.brutal. It is an interesting event to watch. The ladies and the men,
:29:10. > :29:13.they take the first lap so fast. If there is a sprinter in the race,
:29:14. > :29:19.they will be able to take down that first lap to stay in. Genevieve has
:29:20. > :29:21.got good strength. A five kilometre run and in the steeplechase as well,
:29:22. > :29:26.so she will be better the further she can stay in this race, but he
:29:27. > :29:28.needs to be able to hold off the ladies with faster 400 and 800 times
:29:29. > :29:43.than her. LaCaze has got to be careful. I
:29:44. > :29:51.think she has got itself safely... Not quite. She has got to dig deep.
:29:52. > :29:57.Watch out for Schaef. Thomas ran out of room in the end. So close. She
:29:58. > :30:01.has gone. Ryan, can you hear me? A lot of energy used so far. We know
:30:02. > :30:08.how strong she is and he will be able to regather herself, I think,
:30:09. > :30:13.don't you? -- she will. Yes, that was just one lap. Trust me, even if
:30:14. > :30:21.they look OK, they will be spent and the strongest girl will win. Is this
:30:22. > :30:25.a good move? I think so. You would think that Schaef from New Zealand
:30:26. > :30:31.would be the one to struggle. She is probably more a 2.07 runner. She
:30:32. > :30:37.works here in Melbourne, so this is her home track, but if Genevieve can
:30:38. > :30:45.just regain some energy, we know she has got a lot. She is darting across
:30:46. > :30:50.the track to cheer everybody on. This is so hard. It is whoever has
:30:51. > :30:51.got the most legs after all that surging, which is not the way to run
:30:52. > :31:02.a distance race. It is brutal. You are spot on with Schaef. What
:31:03. > :31:14.happens when it comes down to the last three in the final lap? That's
:31:15. > :31:18.it, Genevieve! Keep going. You can relax a little bit through the bell.
:31:19. > :31:31.It I am not sure if Gen has a kick left
:31:32. > :31:54.in her. Busieni looks like she is going to
:31:55. > :32:03.do the job for the All-Stars. It is Busieni, LaCaz and showing here. The
:32:04. > :32:13.two Kenyans has done a great job for the Bolt All-Stars. Down she comes.
:32:14. > :32:19.The Bolt All-Stars strike back. LaCaz has done a strong job, though.
:32:20. > :32:25.They doubled this up with the men, so Ryan you are in the position to
:32:26. > :32:33.turn 80 points into 100 later on. LaCaz comes in for second. The long
:32:34. > :32:37.jump. Berryman, New Zealand's national champion. She jumped a
:32:38. > :32:42.personal best on Thursday night. As you can see on that right hand, she
:32:43. > :32:44.sliced it open. You thought pole-vault could be dangerous. It's
:32:45. > :32:59.got nothing on the long jump, Steve. Steve's got up off his chair to have
:33:00. > :33:04.a good look. I reckon it is pretty close. Kelsey, is that what you need
:33:05. > :33:18.for the turbo? I think it will be pretty close. 6.20 four. One
:33:19. > :33:24.centimetre of the turbo charge. A big jump of 6.44 in the third round,
:33:25. > :33:33.which is the best we have seen for the women's. The turbo-charged
:33:34. > :33:46.distance is 6.15. A fierce look of determination. That looks pretty
:33:47. > :33:53.close. The pocket rocket she is. No additional 15 points on the turbo
:33:54. > :34:01.charge, but the thumbs up. Lapierre is up next. The Australian team
:34:02. > :34:07.manager. He needs a lift. He has got to lift big-time, because he was an
:34:08. > :34:19.absolute shocker in the relay. His distance is 5.75. He needs some
:34:20. > :34:27.noise! Seven point 75. An eight-metre jump will put him into
:34:28. > :34:31.the lead. The chain was his 18th birthday present from his parents.
:34:32. > :34:44.He came in flying! I'll! What is that? That is a fowl. That was
:34:45. > :34:49.enormous. Fabrice Lapierre, and now Lawson, who is currently in second
:34:50. > :34:55.place. The Bolt All-Stars can get some serious points here. Lawson won
:34:56. > :34:58.the men's competition on Saturday. Currently in second. The
:34:59. > :35:07.turbo-charged distance is eight metres. Can we see that here?
:35:08. > :35:21.What sort of colour flag? It is white. It is fair. It might be over
:35:22. > :35:27.eight metres. It is right there. 8.02 is the distance. That is going
:35:28. > :35:31.to fill Usain Bolt's heart with joy. Because the Bolt All-Stars are now
:35:32. > :35:37.in a very strong position. Fantastic. Japan and the Bolt
:35:38. > :35:41.All-Stars claiming 50 points each in the mixed long jump, so no major
:35:42. > :35:50.change in the standings as we head back to the 150 metres sprint, Usain
:35:51. > :35:55.Bolt's first event of the night. So the points table sits like this. The
:35:56. > :36:12.Bolt All-Stars might catapult into the lead here. A power play for
:36:13. > :36:16.them. Confidence Lawson is -- Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world
:36:17. > :36:23.at this distance. It is an unusual distance. 11 World Championship
:36:24. > :36:29.medals. It is the most remarkable sprinting story in the history of
:36:30. > :36:36.the sport. There is only one, and there will only ever be one. He is
:36:37. > :36:44.different, both in personality and power, and ultimately, speed. He
:36:45. > :36:50.puts his reputation on the line every time he starts now. It seems a
:36:51. > :36:54.formality for us, but not for him. About to go. Hartmann and Bolt in
:36:55. > :37:03.the middle. So the moment has arrived. He is off. He got up pretty
:37:04. > :37:10.well. Up to Hartmann, Millar and Lawson. Hartmann and Lawson, Bolt
:37:11. > :37:15.stretching away. What a privilege. We have been waiting for it. He
:37:16. > :37:20.strolls over the line like he did in Beijing all those years ago. We have
:37:21. > :37:26.seen him in an individual race. It was enough. We can all go home
:37:27. > :37:34.happy! He has the 4x100 to come, of course. His start was OK. It is
:37:35. > :37:38.pretty tough for such a big man. Joseph Millar ran really well. He
:37:39. > :37:43.looks a bit more compact and tense than he usually does. But I am being
:37:44. > :37:50.picky. His speed off the ground is really good. He is able to switch
:37:51. > :37:55.off with 20 minutes to go. If I was his competitor leading into the
:37:56. > :38:01.London World Championships in a few months, I wouldn't like that. Millar
:38:02. > :38:09.has had a real breakthrough hair. He is someone to watch. The first time
:38:10. > :38:13.we have seen you back from the Olympics in an individual event. How
:38:14. > :38:20.did that feel? It was rougher than I thought it would be. The first time
:38:21. > :38:25.I have run this early this season, especially in a sprint. It felt OK.
:38:26. > :38:32.You have the Formula One coming up. What you do between now and then?
:38:33. > :38:43.Sit down! I will relax and get ready. Natasha Morrison is that
:38:44. > :38:51.favourite here. Riley Day and Zoe Hobbs, two teenagers, go here. What
:38:52. > :38:55.an experience for the young kids and all the people from Melbourne in the
:38:56. > :39:01.crowd. I'm sure many have travelled just to witness the great man here.
:39:02. > :39:04.You can see that he is over the moon, and relieved it is done and
:39:05. > :39:13.dusted. Morrison the favourite, Day the youngster. Morrison a good
:39:14. > :39:20.start. Maeyama got a very good start for Japan. Day has a slight lead
:39:21. > :39:31.over Morrison. This is something very big. A star is born. We have
:39:32. > :39:42.seen the greatest, and now we have seen somebody who might be very
:39:43. > :39:48.special within minutes. Well, that was quite remarkable. You cannot
:39:49. > :39:53.overstate what we have just seen. A big surprise in the 150-metre
:39:54. > :39:58.sprint, with the Bolt All-Stars failing to make the most of their
:39:59. > :40:05.power play. That still enough to give them the overall lead from
:40:06. > :40:11.Australia. A great run by Riley in the 150. What you think of her? She
:40:12. > :40:17.executed really well. You could tell she wanted it really bad, so that is
:40:18. > :40:24.a good thing. You are you saying take up the win. Did that motivate
:40:25. > :40:29.you? Definitely. Take away that power play from him, and keep
:40:30. > :40:33.pushing hard. When this started, did you believe that you would be
:40:34. > :40:40.winning the 150 in front of the greatest of all time, Usain Bolt.
:40:41. > :40:44.And now you are sitting next to him. Running against Natasha and all the
:40:45. > :40:53.girls was an honour in itself. She is a great girl. I am not doing the
:40:54. > :41:02.relay, unfortunately. She is good. She's good. Did you see the 150? He
:41:03. > :41:09.got lucky. Coming up, the hurdles relay. It is hurdles like you have
:41:10. > :41:14.never seen before. Male and female athletes team up in an exciting
:41:15. > :41:20.format. The female athletes start first. Across three lanes, we run a
:41:21. > :41:27.traditional 100 metres. When we cross the line, the men take over.
:41:28. > :41:31.Then they run 110-metre high hurdle race back in the other direction.
:41:32. > :41:41.The quickest overall takes the points. It is an event you don't
:41:42. > :41:48.want to miss. This is scary for everyone, commentators included.
:41:49. > :41:52.This is something quite different. Lanes one, two, three for the women.
:41:53. > :42:00.Then the men come back six, seven and eight. The women to go first.
:42:01. > :42:08.Once they get to the finish line, the men will be sent on their way.
:42:09. > :42:17.That will be interesting in itself! True got a pretty good start. Aoki
:42:18. > :42:21.just beat them out. Drew coming through pretty hard. England, Japan,
:42:22. > :42:30.New Zealand. Let's see how the men see it. Japan got a very good start.
:42:31. > :42:35.Henry well back behind. The time is important, because the second race
:42:36. > :42:43.will double up. Yazawa is clear. Japan lead at the moment with 27.52.
:42:44. > :42:53.That is their team captain. He was in Rio. He is a national champion.
:42:54. > :42:58.He held off Odujobi. The replay will be interesting. Karla Drew was a
:42:59. > :43:05.clear leader. Yazawa may have gone a bit early. It is something new, it
:43:06. > :43:13.is fresh. Either he went early, or Odujobi sat in the blocks. The
:43:14. > :43:21.points at the end of the hurdles relay all about the time. So China,
:43:22. > :43:32.Bolt All-Stars and Australia ahead. -- up next.
:43:33. > :43:42.Up they come. The hurdles relay. Japan have put a marker down. Big
:43:43. > :43:50.points so important here on Nitro final. Jenneke out of voice, but
:43:51. > :43:57.hopefully not out of refs here. Next to her, Abigail Taddeo.
:43:58. > :44:09.Jenneke got a good start. Abigail Taddeo as well.
:44:10. > :44:25.China have got a very good second one. But Xue is right with him. Our
:44:26. > :44:38.China quicker than Japan? The Bolt All-Stars well back. I'm not sure if
:44:39. > :44:45.China was as fast as Japan. Xue head. It must be really hard to be
:44:46. > :44:49.the lead woman there. You have to cite the hurdles so that you don't
:44:50. > :44:53.crash into it, so I think it is something that they will have to
:44:54. > :45:04.keep practising, those changes. But China and Japan nailed them. Maybe
:45:05. > :45:13.Xie had the advantage of being closer to the women. They still have
:45:14. > :45:16.their heads down and they are focusing on the race, but it is the
:45:17. > :45:23.person behind who tells them they have to go. So maybe we should blame
:45:24. > :45:26.the person behind. I hate to blame Luke Stevens, because he has done so
:45:27. > :45:44.well first -- so far. The 100 metres here. This was on the
:45:45. > :45:59.opening night. Scott Reardon has been second in both 100 and the 200.
:46:00. > :46:18.Mariko Okita lost his arm and leg at birth.
:46:19. > :46:32.That was a big finish from James are not. O'Neill wanted the line and he
:46:33. > :46:44.couldn't quite get it. James are not! -- James Arnott. Reardon is a
:46:45. > :46:57.bit slow to get up. It is difficult for him.
:46:58. > :47:06.Anastasio Marimekko running for the Bolt All-Stars. She is one of seven
:47:07. > :47:23.siblings. Oh, no! She lost all her stride there. Maybe McBride over
:47:24. > :47:33.Mana Sasaki. England have had a huge start. I think there was some slight
:47:34. > :47:49.interference. I think McBride might have done it again. She is a talent.
:47:50. > :47:53.Ella Pardy stumbled at the start. She stumbled and tripped, but I
:47:54. > :47:59.loved that she got up and kept on running, Femita Marie Ayanbeku. That
:48:00. > :48:04.is great for the team. Maybe McBride. Yes, she gets it over Mana
:48:05. > :48:10.Sasaki. England takes a pair of wins. Australia gets pushed back
:48:11. > :48:15.into the lead in the team standings as we head into the javelin. Points
:48:16. > :48:24.are up for grabs big time in the final round of the javelin. The
:48:25. > :48:29.Chinese competitor has thrown over 76 metres so far. Let's see how the
:48:30. > :48:41.radar is for Luke then. It looks good! -- for Liu. Bonus time!
:48:42. > :48:44.Straight out of his hand. Like a ten pin bowler. It left his hand and he
:48:45. > :48:49.turned around and walked the other way. He knew it. International
:48:50. > :49:06.viewers, that is what they call straight down the doodled idyll. --
:49:07. > :49:11.diddle diddle. Power and finesse rolled into one. He didn't guided
:49:12. > :49:15.in, he hammered it in. And now we come to the final round. Hamish
:49:16. > :49:22.Peacock would like your support and he has got the support of his fellow
:49:23. > :49:23.competitors. 81.12 for the Rio Olympian from crass mania, the
:49:24. > :49:47.26-year-old. -- from Tasmania. Yes! Steve, The Peacock was strutting!
:49:48. > :49:51.You already secured the win with your first round throw of 81 metres
:49:52. > :49:55.and you have just put the icing on the cake. A bonus 15 points for
:49:56. > :49:58.Australia and with things so tight that the top of the leaderboard,
:49:59. > :50:03.that will make all the difference at the end of the day. That was pretty
:50:04. > :50:07.handy. I sprained it the other night so good to get it down the middle.
:50:08. > :50:12.That one curved back, right to left on it. Have you been working on
:50:13. > :50:18.that? I put a snake on it and it curved beautifully down the middle.
:50:19. > :50:21.Australia remains in the lead heading into the second to last
:50:22. > :50:31.event of the night, the men's elimination mile. The Bolt All-Stars
:50:32. > :50:34.with Matthew Ramsden. And Ryan Gregson, who was an outstanding
:50:35. > :50:50.teenager, for Australia. Now the elimination mile. Get out of China.
:50:51. > :50:55.Ramsden for the all stars. Gregson at the back. He has looked powerful
:50:56. > :51:02.so far. He is prepared to go right around the field and put himself
:51:03. > :51:06.outside the New Zealander, Tom Moulai. Usually in championship
:51:07. > :51:10.racing it is a slow start. They have taken off, like in women's
:51:11. > :51:16.elimination mile. Baby wants to be the first one out. It is like a
:51:17. > :51:20.reality TV show. -- nobody wants to be the first one out. But they are
:51:21. > :51:27.spreading far too fast for the mile right now. You went through this in
:51:28. > :51:30.your race, Genevieve. It is so tough. You have got to hold your
:51:31. > :51:34.lead and you can't let anyone pass you no matter how hard it feels.
:51:35. > :51:42.Ryan is doing well and he is good at that. Hey has got a kick. You just
:51:43. > :51:50.can't be last across the line. China lose their men. Ramsden is 19. He is
:51:51. > :51:54.now with your group and he is some kind of prospect, isn't he? Sitting
:51:55. > :51:59.outside Ryan. Ramsden definitely has a bright future ahead of him,
:52:00. > :52:03.following in Ryan's footsteps at his age. He has so much potential to
:52:04. > :52:07.show and that will be the guy on Ryan's shoulders tonight and he is
:52:08. > :52:15.well aware of that. Watch out for those two upfront. Gen, you have
:52:16. > :52:19.done all these races, and is this the most brutal of all of them? I
:52:20. > :52:28.can confirm it is the most brutal and I have never done anything like
:52:29. > :52:33.it. That says it all! Come on, Ryan! Stay on it. You are good. Stay on
:52:34. > :52:40.him. Who is going to drop out here? New Zealand? Tommy Lai of New
:52:41. > :52:49.Zealand, he is gone. We are down to four. Ramsden, Gregson, Jamie Webb,
:52:50. > :53:00.and again Gregson takes the lead. This must be so hard. This is a good
:53:01. > :53:04.tactic. They can relax a bit. There is no danger for Ryan or Matthew
:53:05. > :53:10.here. It is a fitness test now. Make him work! It is true you have only
:53:11. > :53:14.got to worry about the last person, but at the same time Ryan is trying
:53:15. > :53:17.to run Ramsden off his feet and trying to tire him out but he can't
:53:18. > :53:24.run too much because then he won't be fresh. He needs to be fresh and
:53:25. > :53:28.take the sting out of the younger Ramsden. I think it is the opposite.
:53:29. > :53:33.I think Ramsden is the distance athlete. The interesting thing about
:53:34. > :53:37.these two is that Ramsden looks up to Gregson. One of his idols was
:53:38. > :53:42.Ryan Gregson and now he is racing against him. He has emulated him in
:53:43. > :53:49.doing the double, the 1505 kilometre. But Ryan has a great kick
:53:50. > :53:58.which we have seen at majors. -- the 500 metres and the five kilometres.
:53:59. > :54:01.This will be fascinating. How important is it for Ryan? Not just
:54:02. > :54:08.the points but beating the younger guy? There is a bit at stake here.
:54:09. > :54:16.Tamsin is right. Ryan is trying to run Ramsden out of his feet. But he
:54:17. > :54:21.will need more. Come on, Ryan! 150! Gregson and Ramsden, both Aussies.
:54:22. > :54:27.One for the Bolt All-Stars, 19. The other the first Australian mail to
:54:28. > :54:29.make the 1500 metres final in 40 years for Australia in Rio. The
:54:30. > :54:39.captains are about to start screaming encouragement. He takes
:54:40. > :54:45.him! Away goes Gregson. Gregson remains unbeaten in Nitro. Ramsden
:54:46. > :54:53.has made his mark. Over the three nights. Here they are. The captains.
:54:54. > :54:57.Australia can win the night if we finish in the top three here, even
:54:58. > :55:01.if the Bolt All-Stars win. But for Australia to win Nitro, we have got
:55:02. > :55:05.to win and the Bolt All-Stars have got to finish both or below. That is
:55:06. > :55:09.what it comes down to. It will be tough for Australia to take down the
:55:10. > :55:12.Bolt All-Stars, but if they can just get that battle ground cleanly and
:55:13. > :55:18.finished as close to the Bolt All-Stars, then winning the night
:55:19. > :55:25.would be great. So great to see the Aussies at the top. Mitchell to
:55:26. > :55:34.Hartman, to Jack Hale, so the Australians go woman, woman, man,
:55:35. > :55:43.man. Morgan Mitchell, five wins at Nitro this week. What a star. Jack
:55:44. > :55:46.Hale is the future. And also, Usain Bolt, interesting that he will give
:55:47. > :55:54.to brandy unique as he did on the first night. That is really tough.
:55:55. > :55:58.-- he will give it to Jenna Prandini. Really tough for the first
:55:59. > :56:09.village at their fastest man in the world to give it to a woman. Watch
